Book Description

About the Book
The book presents the life of the Alvars, the twelve Vaishnava saint- composers of Tamil Nadu.

During her summer holidays, Poorva is drawn unexpectedly into a magical adventure. Her companion is her granduncle, whom she calls Swami Thaatha. This Thaatha has mysterious powers that initiate mind-boggling events. A bewildered Poorva finds herself journeying through time and space, into the historical past with the twelve saint-poets as the unifying link. She walks through solid walls, and flies on fluffly clouds and carpets. She talks with animals and birds and receives food from a Wishing Food Tree! She is thrilled, mesmerised, and shaken by fast unfolding events. It is an adventure from which she comes out wiser, nobler, and stronger.

The racy and ingenious narration makes the extraordinary seem plausible and deftly draws the reader into the magical world of saints, devotees, kings, and animals.
